industries at Jakarta Industrial Estate Pulo Gadung do not have any wastewater treatment plant and although they have one, they are not willing to operate the treatment plant. The different operator training in managing industrial wastewater through comparative study between waste water treatment plant (WWTP) direct and simulator in WWTP
with supervisory control and data aquisition (SCADA) system. The result show that (1) Operation of the simulator with human resources for the operational processes is much more efficient, requiring supervision by one instructor from 4 to 10 operators at the same time for several scenarios, (2) Simulator operating costs are lower than real training which is made directly in the wastewater treatment plant
